[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60640] syntax error when tab autocomplete of @classname folder inserts single quote

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #60640 (project octave):

There are actually a couple of different behaviors going on here.

First, Octave is actually doing some work to insert quote characters into the
completion results, see bug #44095. This bug was first fixed in version 4.2.0,
and I can verify different behavior in version 4.0.3.

I can't reproduce comment #3 on Debian. When I use @<Tab> in a directory with
exactly one @ class directory, I get


>> cd '@MyClass/


and subsequent <Tab>s change or add nothing.

I can reproduce comment #2 on Debian, when there are more than one @ class
directory in the current working directory, but this is caused by the code
added to fix bug #44095. In version 4.0.3, I only get


>> cd '@
@a/ @b/ @c/


and subsequent <Tab>s keep showing the list of possible completions as
expected. So it is code in Octave itself that is inserting the extra quotes.
